NASA to attempt difficult Mars landing

NASA scientists will face what has been called "seven minutes of terror" as the latest unmanned mission to Mars attempts a perilous landing on the planet's surface.

If successful, the data recovered could give a new insight into what the red planet is made of and move us closer to discovering the secrets of any previous life on Mars.

Just 40% of missions to the red planet have safely made it through the thin atmosphere but NASA hopes InSight can do it.

Sky News' Science Correspondent, Thomas Moore, has more.

Cartoons and never any real video. Mars is just a light, zoom in with a Nikon p900 camera

And they never found that Malaysian airliner that went "missing" here on earth...🤔

[spfbaits]

where's the telemetry data from the first moon landing?

[thehightowerbeats]

I cant get cell service but they can a planet away... 😐😡😠👹

[larrycourtney]

How come I don't see them working hard on our planet to try to fix it

[larrycourtney]

The people that believe WWF wrestling is real are the same people that think this is real

[jwho]

Looking on all these comments, nobody believes any of these lies including myself. Why do they still lie? The earth is flat people x

[kerry]

Cant wait for the probe to go 16 feet down and tell us, yup- its moist!!! That was billions of dollars worth of info!!!

[hhyyyth]

God - the creator!!!! That's who made everything we see, feel, an touch.

[billiamc]

Meanwhile back on Earth we are destroying the planet as fast as we can...

[gogosegaga]

That’s factually wrong Venus is the closest planet to Earth...

[kevinlee]

For everyone saying this is fake has had zero education at school and doesn't appreciate science/technology

[TheRedneckGamer]

VENUS is our closest planetary neighbor, not mars!!

[PastorQamm]

More CGI lol we all know the earth is Flat

[lazyjesus]

Funny that CGI footage looks identical to what NASA have put out as real 🤔

[jeromehutchins]

The space exploration program has brought man kind a lotnofn useable inventions. NASA keep exploring. God Bless America.

[reconforsales]

How many probes are they going to send to Mars, soon the whole planet will be full of probes! the red planet will be called probe planet!

[johnnybowe]

Have we not figured out warp speed. I mean Captain Kirk had warp 10 in 1968 ffs.

[samuelndungu]

Maybe the answers to space exploration really lies on studying gravity,
What if we had a technology that goes against gravity what would we achieve,
Though people had told me the thought of going against gravity is crazy maybe we haven't researched more,
What if we could create some strong magnets that could lift an object of a surface

agencia espacial é muito boa gosto todos os videos queria trabalhar lá.
